Manic Street Preachers and Suede have announced a co-headline arena tour
Nine dates confirmed across Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, Cardiff, London and more.

Manic Street Preachers are a Welsh rock band formed in Blackwood, Caerphilly, in 1986. Since 1995, the band has been a three-piece consisting of Nicky Wire on bass and lyrics, James Dean Bradfield on vocals and guitar, and Sean Moore on drums. The band was part of the 1990s Welsh cultural movement known as Cool Cymru. Their early releases were in a punk style, later expanding to a broader alternative rock sound. The band gained a following through their combination of androgynous glam imagery and lyrics addressing themes such as culture, alienation, boredom, and despair. Initially a four-piece with Richey Edwards on guitar and lyrics, their first charting single was 'Motown Junk' in 1991, followed by their albums 'Generation Terrorists' in 1992 and 'Gold Against the Soul' in 1993. Their 1994 album, 'The Holy Bible,' was the last to feature Edwards, who disappeared in February 1995 and was legally presumed deceased in 2008. After a six-month hiatus and with Edwards' family's approval, the remaining members continued the band, achieving commercial success with their 1996 album 'Everything Must Go,' which reached number two on the UK Albums Chart.
